I found a mash recipe that calls for Barley Malt. I see where Brewhaus has many malts for sale, are these barley malts?

2-Row, 6-Row, Distiller's Malt, Golden Promise, and Peated Malt are all barley malts.

Hey Rick is that Peated malt smoked with Irish Peat or Scottish Peat?

The Peated Malt is from Simpson's in Scotland, so I have to assume (but only assume) Scottish Peat.

"Whats the recipe? Inquiring minds want to know.
I think barley malt likely refers to liquid extract, as opposed to malted barley which refers to grain that has been malted."

i believe that malt referes to anything with malt capability( that is in any form after having been through the malting process))--liquid or grain,, could be barley or maybe rye etc.

"Crabby as far as I know.. From Irish Scottish to bourbon.. After the grains are malted they are kiln dried using peat for the fuel. All my research I've ever gathered stated this. Now if your interested in a specific whiskey maybe research how its made it could be different but seems the Peat is industry standard for what I've researched anyway.
Is this what you were asking?"

Scotch and Irish both use peat for their kilns but with irish the grain is not exposed to the smoke so there is no transfer of the peat flavor like with scotch.

Is this what you were asking? Oh yeah answered my question but Irish whiskey is my main objective. I have found a basic grain bill of malted barley unmalted barley rye wheat oats Unless you want a single malt I have to look for the percentages-- i seem to have misplaced the bill-- im redecorating and even re installing stuff on my computer All i remember is 1 pound each of the rye-wheat and oats oh yea 10 pounds malted barley and 5 pounds unmalted barley all crushed naturally. I mashed in about 10 gallons of water then drained and sparged to get about 9 gallons so that after fermenting, racking, clearing and racking again i would get 8 gallons for my boiler. Tripple distilled as irish whiskey demands. Thats all i think i remember."

[ATTACH=CONFIG]615[/ATTACH] Hey cornsqueezins that still looks like it's from the 1930's or before. If it's soldered together you may want to check for lead content. Also I'd like to know what the gooseneck on the lyne arm is made from. It looks copper flex pipe."

Also I'd like to know what the gooseneck on the lyne arm is made from. It looks copper flex pipe. It's not flex pipe, actually the copper was crimped this way to form the shape, not sure how they did it, I've never seen that type of work before on copper or any other metal. The still was originally from Kentucky, family origin. I would guess the 1930's would be fairly accurate for the age .[ATTACH=CONFIG]617[/ATTACH]

Just a word of warning....most stills of that age had lead soldier used in the construction and today we know better. I dont think silver soldier was invented that far back because we did'nt have OSHA or the FDA. I bet if you test that soldier ( but I dont know how) I bet you would find lead. I'm sure you can buy some acid lead test kit and go that route. Dont take a chance on cancer just for making likker. Research the possibilities of such and maybe use a different distillation unit. Safety first then hooch.

I agree with Heeler, please check for lead: 3M makes this : http://leadcheck.com/ dunno the cost. This one is a DIY using sodium sulphide : http://www.sashas.net/im...nts/doc_lead_reveal.pdf. Not definitive but a quicky test is that lead-free solder melts at a higher temperature than leaded solder.

Checking out the recipes on that site i see they call for "crushed malted barley".
Any of the malted barley the Admin listed will work, personally i would go with the second one listed, 6 row.
You could try substituting 1.5lb of the flaked maize for 1.5lb or rye or wheat if you are looking for more of a bourbon flavor profile.
